teen or twenty pence, or more than
three shillings couple in, High street,

Dark Continent, Wonders.

i
~ traveller who has just returned
froman expedition through the Dark
Continent gives Il vivid description of
the horrors Of the I<alahart desert, in
which, he says, it, would be quite i'm
possible for any one to live, were it not
for the existence Of the Hsama, - or wild
watermelon. Which grows in profnson.
and affords food and drink to both man
and beast. The author suggests that
the introduction Of the s'sama'' would
render vast tracts Of worthless land in
the United States available for cattle
raising. The natives on the sKalahart
region always go provided with q stock
OF dried poison bags of various kinds of
snakes, and, If bitten, they at once rub
into tho wound the poison Of another
kind of serpent, which ,neutralIzes the
cyenon III the wound. Even moro sin
guar, perhaps, is the statement that
whereas the sting Of tho scorpion there
is accompanied by extreme pain, SWELL
ing and somc danger to life, Il native
who is stung at once looks for another
scorpion and allowsit to sting him, The
second sting entirely cotlntcacting the
effect Of tho first.

Morals in the Legislature,

The functions of Committee on Public
Morals appear to be to prevent the spread
of morals among the public. That at
least, is the view which the Assembly COM
mittee on that subject takes of its duties.
This interesting group of ethical experts
reported favorably yesterday upon propo-
sition to license gambling and unfavorably
upon a bill prohibiting express and tele-
phone companies from sending messenger
boys on errands to houses of ill-fame.
Perhaps these gentlemen do not realize
Just what the abuse is which this latter
measure was intended to check. The dis
rrict messenger companies in the principal
cities employ hundreds of boys from 10 to
16 years ago, who are at the service of any
body who chooses to pay the regular rates.
The companies are not fastidious as to the
character of their patrons. In the various
haunts of infamy these boys are in great
demand. They are constantly required to
run all sorts of errauds, and there is no
form of vice with which they do not be-
come familiar in the course of the service
The amount of wickedness which nightly
passes in review before their susceptible
eyes is something frightful. They see more
than the most depraved rounder, for he is
occupied only with his own debauch, and
the boy may have panorama OF dozen.
California BOYS are neither 100 goou nor
too bad to be demoralized by such associa-
tions. They are not of such superlative
innocence as to go through these scenes
unframed. as an Assembly Committee on
Morals might do, nor are they so depIave
as to be beneath the danger of degradation.
They can be elevated by good influences
and contaminated by bad ones. Those
under discussion are at precisely the age
when familiarity with evil is most perilous.
And that familiarity they have, in the most
appalling measure. A District Telegraph
boy on night details must have most ex-
ceptional mind if the experiences be is
compelled to undergo do not rot out all the
higher elements of his nature before they
have time to grow. There should be no
need of law on this subject. 1t is dis
graceful that reputable corporations should
permit the abuse to exist and should accept
the stained coin it brings to their treas
uries. But since the evil does exist and
the companies do not volunteer to check It,
the duty of the State is clear. If legisla-
ton can ever have any influence on morals
it is in such case as this. The Society for
the Suppression of Vice tries to preserve
the purity of those who are already lost by
removing Objectionable pictures FROM their
dens Why not make an effort to save
bows from being forced into associations
which must deprave their forming char
ac,ers rs. +. Post.

our wealth in Marble.

Hon. ]. NJ. Keller, of Inyo county, is
in the city. He has in his possession speci-
mems of white, black and moss agate-lined
marble, the products of Lodges about six
miles north of the town of Keller, and
which are very excellent, if equaled on
the globe. The moss-agate variety would
be exqusitely fine for inside finishing
work for building purposes. Mr.. Keller is
a partner with Israel Luce, of this city, in
the Inyo Marble Company Of California.
The company has under employment
quite force of men at the quarries and
mill The latter is situated near the Car
son and Colorado Railroad-the quarries
one-fourth of mile from the track, with
a side track to mill and nearest developed
quarries. The company has possession of
between two and three miles in length of
this marble formation. 1t is destined not
only to be of great value to its owners,
but also to the State at no distant day.
This is but one of the resources of the State,
which, until very recently, has remained
as hidden treasure, and many of which
capital and incoming immigrants will soon
make known 10 the world.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Invitation to the PUBLIC.

On this evening, Friday. February 18th,
at 7:30 o'clock, the Assembly Committee on
Municipal Corporations will meet in the
Assembly chamber to consider the Sacra-
mento funded debt question as embodied
in the Dray-Carroll bill This matter is
one of vital importance to the interests and
future of this city. For years past our citi-
zens have been wrangling over this propo-
sition, with no present prospect of agree
ment.
There is some way of proceeding in this
matter that is better than all Others and
without some action or agreement we will
never improve our present condition. As
a representative of Sacramento city, favor
the liquidation of this Indebtedness Just as
soon as possible, and on the easiest terms
possible. In other words, to take such
course as shall be for the best interests of
this city. 1t has not been my object to
suggest the best course to be pursued in the
solution of this matter, for the many citi-
zens of experience who have given the SUBJ
ject their consecutive attention for years
are best calculated TO argue and agree upon
the city's best plan of action. If the pres
ent bill is Objectionable, let it be so amended
as to best favor Sacramento.
1t is to be hoped that all citizens who
have expressed themselves, as well as all
others interested, will be present. The
consideration of this bill is made the
special order for the entire evening.
